Bigfoot Fallacies

Device	Quote or Context	Explanation
Appeal to Ignorance	In the account, the creature is only assumed to be bigfoot, with no real proof.	The hunters were quick to believe the suspect was bigfoot just because they were not familiar with the sounds it was making. Even though it could have been anything, they jumped to the conclusion of bigfoot because they didn’t know how else to explain the event.
Appeal to Misleading Authority	“After hearing the sound, I looked at my father and by the look in his eyes, I could tell that it was also a sound that he had never heard before either.”	The father of the reader, by the looks of the report, is very experienced with this part of the woods. The reader uses his father’s expertise to show the true strangeness of the noise they heard, which helps him argue that the sound must come from a mysterious creature like bigfoot.
Hasty Generalization	“The hair on the back of my neck stood straight up, as from outside the door, came .the most terrifying, Scream/Screech/Howl/Yell, that I had never heard.” “...leaving behind what can only be described as a "Smelly wet Dog" scent.”	Since the “encounter” was so strange and terrifying, it must have been bigfoot and not anything else.
Post Hoc	“The generators reserve gasoline tank kicked it and I began ot prepare my self for the trip of going outside and refilling the gas tank. As I was doing this, a large bang was heard, as if someone/something had struck the cabin's side door with a heavy object.”	The generators went out before they heard noises, implying the creature was meddling with the generators.
